Using a unique approach that leverages universal storytelling through Instagram-inspired imagery, the campaign celebrates the simple pleasure of drinking a Coca-Cola beverage, featuring the product at centre stage.
“More than ever, we recognise people want their Coca-Cola in different ways. Whichever one they choose, they want a Coca-Cola brand with great taste and uplifting refreshment. Through our ‘One Brand’ strategy, we will move away from multiple brand campaigns, to one single iconic brand campaign that celebrates both the product and the brand,” he said.
Taste the Feeling, is rolling out at various times across all markets globally in 2016, coming to life in Zimbabwe from this week, through a number of elements, including television commercials, campaign images, new visual identity system, new music anthem and audio signature, as well as a shareable and customisable interactive digital experience.
